Wait a minute! Wait a minute! One moment, folks. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to try and sing you a brand new little number. Well, it's a ballad—a sort of a sentimental song. And I'm just a little nervous about singing it, because it's the first time I've ever sung a ballad in my life, and I hope you like me. Well, anyway, hehe, my mother likes me.
